Comment in question

Cho, my response to this is simple: not at the end of a gun. No-one should be forced or coerced to join any market, formal or otherwise. 
 
If people voluntarily join the formal sector because their profits increase and their ability is rewarded then, yes, I am in full agreement. 
 
But if people see greater value in remaining outside the formal sector then it is up to the formal sector to increase its benefits ... to attract, not force. 
 
And that is why I declare that the informal market offers an immediate sense of how attractive formal market policies are. If there is an informal market then, clearly, the formal market isn't totally perfect.
